The USA should make it illegal to kowtow to China like this.
The details of how this law could be structured can be debated, but there has to be a way.

- criddell 5y agoI don't think the constitution would allow it. Kowtowing is an expression of something so I would guess it's covered by the 1st amendment.
- javert 5y agoThe question is what the Supreme Court would allow, not what the Constitution would allow. They are often not the same. The Court has engaged in a lot of spurious reasoning and wishful thinking over the centuries, and continues to do so.
